CADEX Reject - Vendor State Code Missing or Invalid

Problem:  The vendor state code is required by CBSA

The error may look something like this.

Its important to note the error message shows you what value CBSA received for a state code, so in this case it got an empty state code as shown below in reject message

Possible Solutions:

If Shipment value is greater than $2500 and country of export is USA, CBSA expects the Vendor to be USA address with USA state code.

If you have a shipment where country of export is USA but country of orgin in CHINA you MUST provide a vendor that is USA based who is controlling the goods while exporting from USA.

Vendor state code, zip code, port of exit code, and freight are mandatory if:
1. the total VFD is equal to or greater than $2,500.00 Cdn; and
2. the place of export is a U.S. state code, foreign trade zone, PR, UM, or VI.

Example

Ctry of Export = USA

Ctry of Origing = Vietname

Value of goods is above $2500

Therefor vendor must be USA, with USA state code
